A Pittsburgh-area McDonald’s franchisee that employed 101 minors across 13 locations broke federal scheduling and safety law, the Labor Department announced Monday.
Santonastasso Enterprises, the franchisee for the 13 locations, has paid $57,332 to resolve the violations, most of which related to scheduling for 14- and 15-year-old employees.
According to the Labor Department, these employees were, in violation of federal law, allowed to work:
— More than 3 hours per day and after 7 p.m. on school days.
— Later than 9 p.m. on days between June 1 and Labor Day, when they may legally work until 9 p.
